Driven by historically low snowpack and above average temperatures this summer, Seminoe Reservoir has slipped into “near-worst case” water quality modeling scenarios that federal officials are relying on to greenlight a controversial pumped-water storage hydroelectric project there.

The Carbon County reservoir, which stores water in the North Platte River system, measured just 29.4% capacity Wednesday, with a surface water elevation of 6,303 feet above sea level, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

That’s 12 feet below a “near-worst case” scenario of 6,315-feet elevation for the reservoir based on modeling of past years that opponents of the storage project have criticized as incomplete and shortsighted in consideration of changing climate in the region…

In Wyoming, the primary can determine who represents you long before November.

Those elected will make decisions affecting wildlife management, habitat, public lands, and access. Sportsmen have a direct stake in who holds those seats.

Today, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a proposed revised 4(d) rule intended to give states greater responsibility for managing recovered grizzly bear populations while they remain listed under the Endangered Species Act.

This is a conservation success worth celebrating. Grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem have grown from just 136 animals in 1975 to more than 1,000 today, reflecting decades of work by state wildlife professionals, hunters, landowners, communities, and conservation partners.

“Grizzly bear recovery has reached the constructive point where management, not just protection, must lead the next chapter,” said Jess Johnson, Government Affairs Director for the Wyoming Wildlife Federation. “If the rule reflects today’s announcement, it will mark an important milestone in one of America’s greatest wildlife recovery stories. It recognizes decades of conservation success and creates an opportunity for states to carry that success forward through active, science-based management. I have every confidence Wyoming’s wildlife professionals will continue the outstanding stewardship that has brought grizzly bears to this point.”

The Wyoming Wildlife Federation worked alongside the Property and Environment Research Center, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and Boone and Crockett Club to propose a framework that recognizes recovery, expands state management responsibility, supports effective conflict response, and maintains strong biological safeguards for healthy grizzly populations.

WWF looks forward to reviewing the proposed rule, understanding the next steps in the federal process, and providing Wyoming’s hunters, anglers, landowners, and communities with additional information as the proposal moves forward.

More Than Gatherers is a fully immersive experience over two weekends that will include a full certification in hunter education (including rifle handling), and a deep dive into hunting skills, philosophies, conservation of wildlife, community building, and food.

Only 9 slots left!

This is a safe space to be a beginner, a curious learner, and a member of an ever-growing community of women who have picked up hunting in their adult years. This experience is planned and taught by an all-female cast from around the state; some of them seasoned hunters and some of them brand new.

BY THE END OF THIS COURSE, YOU WILL NOT KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HUNTING, BUT YOU WILL: 

* KNOW WHO TO ASK FOR HELP
* BUILD A GREAT COMMUNITY
* HAVE THE SKILLS TO “PULL THE TRIGGER”

More than Gatherers takes place over the course of two weekends, and in order to get the full experience we ask that participants plan to take part in both weekends.

Public lands support wildlife habitat, hunting and fishing opportunities, outdoor recreation, working landscapes, and the Wyoming way of life.

Today, we’re taking a moment to say thank you.

We’ve created a simple tool that allows you to send a message of appreciation to the legislators who supported SJ9 and helped advance Wyoming’s public lands legacy.

If public lands matter to you, take a minute to send a thank you note. Link in Bio!
